Coastal Green Council

The Horry Georgetown Home Builders Association is proud to announce the formation of the COASTAL GREEN COUNCIL. The mission of the Council is to educate the public about the advantages of “Green” building practices and techniques, sponsor education programs and activities for the benefit of our members, recommend legislation and regulations that can stimulate Green Building, encourage ethical conduct, good business practices and advance the image of the Green building Industry. This program was formed to educate members and consumers and is encouraging builders to participate using the NAHB National Green building Program which offer innovative, resource-efficient building techniques, while preserving affordability.

The Council meets monthly and membership dues are $50.00 annually.
